"When you put you the T-shirt of the Real Madrid want to litigate it everything until the last minute. It is part of the history of the club. Always you are the favourite to win it all", explained the midfield player. Besides, it did self-criticism on the exert of the team in the previous keys. "In Paris cost us a lot and in the turn, with the support of the people, revertimos the situation. Against Chelsea the gone was very and this did not benefit us a lot because in the turn suffer, although we classify. We expect that tomorrow we are more regular", puntualizó the Uruguayan.
